Are the vanes straight or do they induce arrow spin when shot?

My arrows came with the straight Blazer vanes (the short ones), nothing like the Quick Spins which I've used in the past but came back to Blazers. The quickspins have drag and reduce your fps. They were supposed to be more accurate, But I couldn't really notice any difference. You always get some spin, but these vanes are not what contributes to that.

Right helical spins the arrow clockwise, left helical spins the arrow counterclockwise. It all depends on what you are shooting it out of. I use right just cause that is what I have always shot. my rest is a drop away so it doesn't really matter for me. what the helical does is make your arrow spin faster which helps it to correct itself quicker. which means better accuracy when you are shooting farther distances.

Hello...I would probably say they would not spin the targets all the way around. I've been using a benjamin pump air rifle with pellets and you have to hit it in the right spot for the target to go all the way around. Also have to be pretty close to the target. This target, I think, is mainly for .22 or .17HMR rounds. Happy shooting.

Just looked and as far as I can tell the shaft is just forced into the point. Keep in mind that these are just inexpensive arrows good only for shooting at a target or cardboard box. They work fine for me when we go out and are just practicing.

I use 30" carbon arrows with feathers, and they fly really well. Don't get plastic vaned arrows. That bow amazes the onlookers at the range, making them wonder why they spent $1500 on a compound bow!

Yes. Well cut and tapered, they fly well. I use them with a longbow and a recurve. I like the points as well, although they could be a bit sharper for my taste. I honed the edges a bit extra and they are perfect now, or at least to my liking!

Try sighting in at the 30 yard shot first using the second cross hair. Once you are hitting bullseye at 30 yds, then go back to 20 yd shot and see how arrows are placing?

Straight. There is an angled version offered by Leupold. I chose the straight version because when looking through an angled scope with such high magnification it can be difficult to find your target.

Only helical. They do sell a version if I remember correctly that glues straight vanes.

That is how mine is. As it shows in the photo. Perhaps you have received a defective crossbow.

Yes, mine look exactly like this...longer than the other arrows I have, but on securely and the tips are very sharp.

No, but the fly exactly the same as 100 grain field points. Like no adjustment at all. I have shot them into my target to be sure.

Noo its not at right angle, its straight works much better than the right angle one, trust me!!!

I use them on my Ten Point Vapor crossbow and believe me, they are devastating. I've heard people say that because a crossbow normally shoots faster than a bow (mine shoots at 360 fps), the blades may open at the moment you hit the trigger. That has not happened in my case, at least I have not noticed it and if so, the arrow did not deviate or anything and they went through the animals like they were going through butter. Believe me, it is a great head

From what I have found they are case steel and heat treated to make them hard ( and they are very hard) - They come unsharpened on the edges -- I have sharpened them on a surface grinder to a razor edge like a knife and they do kill white tailed deer I have no problem with these arrows - Remember they are traditional arrows wooden and need to be treated as such they fly true and shoot better than the target points .

Mine is not. The bullets tend to veer of to one side or the other after about fifteen to twenty feet if not closer. Sometimes they will fly straight and when they do they go pretty far and they do whistle.

Good question... the instructions refer to an arrow that indicates air flow direction, but there was no arrow on my unit... I am assuming from your question you didn't see an arrow either? I tested it with a known consistent air flow both ways and found no difference (within the margin of error of the unit) so I just arbitrarily picked an orientation and use it the same way each time (hoping this will deliver a more consistent comparison). I used a piece of tape on the outside of the unit to indicate airflow and just always "aim" it the same way. Perhaps the manufacturer could give us all a bit more clarification???
